Reliability improvement built around real manufacturing constraints.
MaintainIQ was created to help manufacturing sites that know their maintenance system needs attention, but cannot justify a full-time reliability engineer or a large consultancy engagement.
Founder-led, hands-on
MaintainIQ is led by Stuart Dutton, drawing on more than 20 years of hands-on engineering and reliability leadership across defence, FMCG, and industrial manufacturing environments.
That background shapes how we work: peer-level conversations with Engineering Managers, Maintenance Managers and Operations Directors; fixed-scope delivery; data-led diagnosis; and outputs that can actually be used, not just presented.
Veteran owned · UK basedHow we work
- Practical engineering credibility. Conversations grounded in plant reality, not consultancy templates.
- Defined-scope delivery. Scope, responsibilities, and outputs agreed before substantive work begins.
- Data-led diagnosis. The CMMS data is the starting point — even when it is messy.
- Outputs that can be used. Tasks, frequencies, hierarchies, and procedures formatted for direct CMMS use.
- Honest scoping. If a programme is not justified, we will say so.
Definition by contrast.
A generic management consultancy
We do not produce strategy decks without the CMMS-ready outputs to back them up.
A software startup
We work inside the CMMS you already have. We are not selling you a new platform.
A day-rate contractor pool
Engagements are scoped from evidence and delivered around agreed outputs, not open-ended support.
